Tests because of failing to implant

[monkeii]

Good luck incomplete with the tests I think they are all worth doing.

I was diagnosed with coeliac a year ago and have since learned that when untreated it may cause infertility and m/c. You would have to go gluten-free for a while for the body and antibodies to normalise, but apparently fertility can be restored on a GF diet. I also found that my undiagnosed coeliac was a deep root of my elevated TSH which was slowing down my thyroid function.

Lupus (or anti-nuclear antibodies - same thing) is a good test to get.

There are also natural killer cells tests I think that I perosnally haven't had done but might be worth considering if your are at it and getting the bloods done.

Good luck you are doing the right thing investigating this!

Hi Incomplete, I think the test called Immunologic Testing. It is a test to check if there are any reasons for embyros fail to implant. I think I also some other girls are talking about NK cells test which is mainly test for reoccurrent m/c.

Good luck hun!

Hi Incomplete,
thanks for starting this thread - it got me thinking and i have just rung my FS to see if she would do some more tests to see if there is a reason we are not having any implantation success (after 4 transfers). Anyway she is sending me up the pathology slip for some more tests - ones that she does not normally do until there are more failed cycles. Not sure what the tests will be - kind of a surprise when I get them in the mail.

Thanks and good luck to you with your test.

Hi all,

I got my results last week - I've been on holiday so didn't post. I got the all clear so I'm not sure if that is good news or not. They tested for anti-thyroid, clotting etc and everything came up as all clear.

Hi CeCe,
If these are the same tests my FS is doing, i think that negative's are pretty much the norm. When I get the blood test slip in the mail I'll post what they are for.

I dont understand it fully, but my FS said that there are a set of blood tests that they do last eg after many failed cycles, because they almost always come back all ok and hence there is no point doing them initally...it is only much later that they do them on the off chance something shows up...or at least I think that is what she was saying...

Hi Farmgirl,

I would have posted what the pathology form said - if only I could read the drs writing and getting the results they just mentioned the general tests not the specifics, so I'm not much help. It was about 10 viles of blood though so I guess pretty thorough.
